Message: [QUOTE="Rick DeNatale, post: 4664985"] None of this is surprising to me as an old Smalltalker. Parts of the Ruby implementation take the same view of inheritance and overriding as in Smalltalk, inheritance is simply a convenient technique for the implementation of behavior, not for building formal hierarchies.
